Sistema de gestão como instrumento educacional no curso técnico em mecânica no Instituto Federal do Amazonas - IFAM

Abstract

Solid wastes are materials that originate from various human activities, such as agriculture, industry, domestic activities etc., can be found in solid, liquid and gas. However, if such waste remains untreated, this leads to pollution of air, water, soil or solid waste. In this context, it is worth mentioning the importance of higher education institutions in society in two fundamental aspects: creating and disseminating knowledge, and being a reference in terms of attitude, training students, both as professionals and as citizens. Therefore, the objective of this study was to ascertain the types of wastes generated by mechanical laboratories and how their actual disposal is done. For the study, a structured questionnaire was used as a data collection tool, with a group of 28 students from the technical course of medium level in Mechanics. It was possible to conclude that in IFAM, in general, there are existing environmental initiatives, which should continue to be adopted for the increasing process of awareness raising and subsequent awareness in all the sectors that comprise it, with the aim of adopting an Environmental Management System.
